The 2019 Post-election report provides the budget impact of each of the election commitments made by the major parties in the 2019 general election, and the total combined impact of their policy platforms on the Commonwealth budget.

This resource provides an overview of all the budget information and contains the main points for the media and public. It summarises the government’s spending decisions and key points raised in the Budget Speech, the Wellbeing Budget, and the Budget Economic and Fiscal Update.
